Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r
2.6.32-165.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.167.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.3-7.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch
python-virtinst-0.500.5-3.el6.noarch

Always

1. Login the guest and check vcpu model
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
...
model name: QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6)

The right default is to pick a common cpu of Intel/Amd that the customer expects to live migrate to with the max performance.
